Corrado de Trastamara (1479-December 1494) was a Spanish-Italian nobleman who was one of the heirs to the Kingdom of Naples. The cousin of Alfonso de Trastamara and the nephew of King Ferrante I of Naples, Corrado was killed at a young age in the Battle of Fivizzano with France.

Biography
Corrado de Trastamara was born in 1479 in Palermo, Sicily, to Alfonso de Trastamara the Elder, the brother of King Ferrante I of Naples. Trastamara was a nobleman of the Italian Kingdom of Naples due to his belonging to the ruling House of Trastamara, but was of Aragonese descent.

In 1494, the Kingdom of France invaded southern Italy in hopes of restoring the House of Anjou's claim to the thrones of Naples and Sicily, so the fifteen-year-old Corrado was placed in command of an army that was sent to stop King Charles VIII of France from conquering the region. At the Battle of Fivizzano, Trastamara won a battle against the French army, but he was cut down by French pikemen in battle.
